Yes, but not on vacation, because we never go on any. So, can I list some at home stuff?

I took a photo of a rain water filled garbage can lid where the sky and surrounding grass was reflected. I thought it would look like a pool with a neat reflection in it. It looked like a rain filled garbage can lid.

I had to take a self portrait for a class and hate pictures of myself so I dolled the picture up by covering the lens with some wrinkly plastic wrap and then shot a picture of myself in dim light. I had just gotten up and was unkempt to say the least (I wanted a 'mood picture'). I ended up looking like an old barfly gazing through a rainy window. I deleted it.

I took a picture of a fly sitting on a baby blanket (the baby wasn't in it...we were outside and thus the fly). It was a very good shot, but disgusting. I couldn't delete it because it was taken with a 35 mm camera on film.

My sister and I, in our younger days, took some glamor pictures of ourselves. I wish I could hunt them all down and destroy them, but I don't know where they all are.

I took a picture of my laundry tray faucet because I thought it looked like a duck's profile. It did in the dim light of morning, but not in the picture. So much for that!

I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished. Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

That's the beauty of digital cameras! We don't have to print the pictures to see what we've got.

Admittedly, I sometimes print some I am not sure of or several of one object because I can't decide, but I am ruthless about editing even then.

When we used film, I was pretty good about discarding even though we had to pay for every one.

(Can you tell one of my pet peeves is people who don't edit before showing albums and slides to others? Pick your two favorite veiws of your 30 pictures of the Cliffs of Dover from one point and be done with it!)

One year, my parents and I took the Auto Train from Washington D.C. to Florida. It was like a ferry on land-the car rode in its own train car, and we were in the passenger section. When we reached Florida, my father wanted to get a shot of someone driving our car off the train, but caught several random cars first . We still have those pictures, like a montage of mid-70's cars .

As for myself, I have a picture of a goat hitched to a cart-at a bus stop in the middle of Shenyang. That's not really an "Il Monumento" picture, as I know I was trying to catch the combination.

The goat picture is adorable! I don't want to see the goat looking to the left, then the right, then up, then down, then his backside.
